A Little Rimfire Fun

[Teknys]

Nice sunny day, so I took out 22LR, 22WMR and a 17WSM in the backyard. Moved a shooting bench to 50 yds. Wife came out with her 17HMR. We proceeded to enjoy the next hour. The WMR is the new Henry and I think it's a 50 yd 1" gun with the ammo I have.
I did run across a Sav 93R17 BTVSS. I used to have one and I sold it many years ago. Instant regret. Needed to replace it. Rail from Midway in the mail. About to be come a favorite. Rimfires are fun and still reasonably cheap to shoot. Well I remember box of 50 22LR for 49¢ Those were the days.

Yes with ammo costs the rimfires sure are great to shoot especially the 22 lr. A lot of fun and helps a lot with honing our skills.

Many a "mispent" hour in the back 40 with a 22 as a kid!
Not to mention all the snowshoe hares and ruffies that came home for dinner!

Well spent time my friend, would have learned many good things out there!

It must be fun shooting those little .22's. Reminds me of when i was a kid back in the days learning to shoot. Ol' Grandpa would make a stop at the Ace Hardware buying those .22's for around a buck something a box on the way to his ranch. Can't wait for that Vudoo .22 to come in sometime in late May or June. I already have two bricks of the SK Standard Plus and the 5-25x56 ATACR waiting.

22 LRs are cheap entertainment as well as a good teaching tool. Dan.

Love 22. Fond memories of exploding soda (pop, if you prefer) cans. No I keep one handy at the house for cleaning up duties, loaded with ear safe subsonics. *ahem* By that, I mean vermin. Like snakes, or armadillos. Or squirrels, if they're in season.

I replaced a Savage 93R17 BTVSS that I sold many years ago. I felt I needed a 17HMR again. This one is the blonde laminated stock. I'll have a scope mounted Friday and probably get a couple boxes of ammo thru it before I call it done for the day.
Easy way to get more trigger time right here in the back yard.

When I was a kid I got to keep a 22 on the combine or swather with me. Tons of stuff to shoot from there, but mostly jack rabbits. The life cycle was high during early high school days when I worked on farms. They were everywhere.
